Question

installation of Lightroom 6 from disc with Serial Number on my new Laptop (windows 11)

I have tried to install Ligtroom 6, what I used with my old Laptop (Windows 10) on my new Laptop (Windows 11). During this procedure first the installer is initialized and then appears the Notice "registration necessary, sign in with Adobe-ID". When I try this again and again appears the notice "try again later, because of security reasons your access is temporary inactivated".

In contrast to this notice the normal registration in my Adobe-Account is possible without problems and there are no abnormalities.

Can anyone help me?

Lightroom 6 is end of life.  Registration is not possible. So just skip that screen.

 

If LR 6 won't activate, you'll need to replace it with modern software that's compatible with your Windows 11 machine. 

 

Creative Cloud Photography Plan ($10/month for 12 months). Includes the following:

  • Photoshop CC and Photoshop on iPad
  • Camera Raw
  • Lightroom for desktop, mobile and the web
  • Lightroom Classic (similar to LR 6)
  • Portfolio website + hosting
  • Adobe Express (free starter plan)
  • Bridge
  • 20 GB cloud storage (upgradable to 1 TB).
  • Free upgrades for paid subscribers.

Hope that helps.

I don't have any subscription, I only have the installationdisc and the
Serial number. The problem is the missing possibility for Registration
during installation.

and you never installed anything adobe cc on that computer in the past?

 

registration is no longer possible and is unnecessary.  you need to activate with your serial number

 

i assume lr 6 is not installed.  if that's untrue, indicate that and do not do the following.

 

if lr is not installed, right click the installation file and click properties > compatibility > tick run in compatibility mode and select win 10 > ok > re-start installation.
